Has anyone heard from Buff recently? I’ve tried him on WhatsApp about 6 times since 12 December and not had any responses.

Just wanted to give an update since my first post wasn’t the most positive. Popup is now responding, I’ve placed an order, and he’s been very communicative. No issues at all. Before he apologised and said he was moving premises and he’d been disorganised. I can’t begrudge him as he’s owned up to it, apologized, and been as good as anyone since!
He’s recently hired an assistant a few weeks ago to help him respond to messages a little more promptly. I’d still say that his work is worth the effort. I’ve done 6 builds with him over the last 6 months and every one is spot on perfect. His attention to detail is amazing.
im awaiting my 5168g khaki kit..bu tit all looks good on QC. If it all works then I'll be sourcing parts and watches via him more often.
I’ve done a APSF 15510 blue DP dial build, a 5167, a 5167 Singapore, a 5168 Blue dial, an Azurro Blue DJ Franken, and a White dial DJ Franken and all of them have been amazing!! Enjoy your new build.
Popup did all of the work in house. Nothing was pre modded. Even sent me pictures and video after the bracelet smoothing was done. He didn't do a case or bracelet reshape but the bracelet definitely is smoother and slightly slimmer than my other 15510 build.
Oh wow. I got my 5168g khaki set. It's as good or better than advertised! I'll have pics up and a full review once it's all installed! He came good in the end for sure!
Popup has built a 5167, 5167 Singapore, 5168 Blue Dial, Azzuro Blue Roman Franken DateJust, and also a White Dial Franken DateJust for me also. He's currently building a Tungsten case and bracelet Daytona with a Meteorite Roman Racing Dial. His work is FLAWLESS!!!!
Sure. Here are some pics. DP dial, SW hands, CNC 18kt rotor, engraved movement, smoothed and brushed bracelet and case, and deep crystal installed. One of my favorite pieces and the bracelet feels soft as a baby’s behind.
That's amazing!
Popup is oding a 5711 PP for me know. but I was holding on AP 15510, since I dont like the printed letters on the movement.
So, to corroborate: Its an APSF 15510 with the clone movement, right? ... NOT the Myota.
Correct sir. APSF with clone movement and engraved plated installed. These are the QC pics of the engraved plates. Also did a Green AP 15510 with a CNC Anniversary rotor with Xing_Patrick. LOL
